Comment 5 for bug 986816

I think this may not be an Inkscape bug. It looks like the crash is happening in the file chooser code due to trying to do a string comparison against either an undefined string or a file named with unicode characters ("\240\371V\b")

Anyway, I'm not even sure there's anything we could do to work around this in Inkscape.
